Ovechkin's GOTY Submission

[Dynamo81]

Ahh, brings back memories of around 05-10 when he was an absolute monster / highlight reel of individual brilliance.

Happy to see him score, always am.

What a goal! Easily goal of the season.

I still don't like that move of his when he rapidly moves his stick over the defensmen's head. Looks good, of course, but a little dangerous.

 

[MrEctions]

Wow, Ovie showing hes still got it. Electric play right there.

 

[Kale Makar]

Filthy move... So smooth

 

[Kamiccolo]

The deke is nice, I don't really think it's GOTY. The goal was pretty average actually.

I wouldn't say average, it's definitely above average. But yeah, not GOTY material.

Average for what? nhl 15?

That's the first time I've seen him raise his stick over like that. Usually he pulls it like he's pulling a string, using his left (top) hand while the right is just a guide and has no grip. The whole stick blade doesn't go above his knee and looks much smoother. I know because I've copied it over the years.

Boys who cares about the goal he's +7. All that matters remember?

I remember those comments last season Using +/- to say Ovechkin is poor defensivley and can't play a 2 way game etc. Using that logic Ovechkin was one of the best two way forwards in the NHL in 09-10 (Second in the league in +/-)

Don't pay attention to anyone with a Spongebob Avatar.

Ovie with a top 5 goal of the year right there! Who's in contention for it now? Ryan, Ovechkin, Subban, Tarasenko, Ennis, Doughty, Callahan...?

Imo its Tarasenko's goal AINEC for goal of the year.

 

[gdsmack267]

That was just sick, great moves

 

[MarkGio]

GOTY is right!!

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Yeah, that was pretty nasty. The fact that it was done almost unhindered only adds to it.

 

[FlyTimmo]

It is always funny the first time you read that comment.

After the 382 time it gets pretty dumb.

It's called the windmill deke. Everyone does it, not just Ovechkin. It's useful when it's the only way you can avoid the other guy's stick.

I can't decide which one I like the best between Tarasenko, Ryan and Ovi's goal.

Waiting for Canadianguy77 to give us his opinion.

Are you kidding me ? That goal is pure wizardry, absolutely unbelievable.

 

[El Nino 22]

HOLY **** Vlad and Ryan can step aside.

 

[illpucks]

This reminds me of Iverson crossing over Jordan.

Ovi is unguardable when he is on.
